Popular questions about administering a Will Trust
A Will Trust gives assets to the people you appoint as Trustees to hold for the future benefit of others (the beneficiaries). It is included in your Will and set up on your death. Trusts are often used as a tool for the benefit of Inheritance Tax planning.
Trusts are set up for a number of reasons which include the control and protection of family assets or the financial protection of a person who may be too young to handle their affairs and more.
A Trustee takes legal ownership of the assets held by a trust and assumes fiduciary responsibility for managing those assets and carrying out the purposes of the Trust.
Our specialist legal advisors in Wiltshire have many years experience in Trust administration and acting as a professional Trustee. We will work with you to find the best solution for your needs.
When choosing a Trustee it’s important to understand they are the one who accepts legal responsibility for the assets in the Trust.
